    Yet Severian refers to the forests of Lune, not the green domes of Lune.


     
  Where does this idea of domes on Lune come from? 

The idea, I think, was that Lune's gravity is too low to sustain an atmosphere, so the trees on it are probably under glass.  

The ideal solution would be some kind of forcefield that keeps the air in without scattering light. But perhaps greenhouse technology is so advanced in Severian's time that a physical barrier can have the same effect.
